Match makers just put me against a group of two players and one solo. SO it was 1 player vs 3 pluss AI. Match maker should equal teams out with players before AI is added so that would of been 2 vs 2 players with rest AI.

i would like a button to "opt out of matching with AI", where it won't put me in a battle unless its all players. I don't mind long queues, but the AI is too stupid to play with.

it would also be nice if it was balanced wind. started a battle where you "capture the enemy base" and there's a fort you can capture in the middle. My side was dead in irons while the other side had full wind. Guess who reached the fort first and was able to capture it before we could even get there.

Also, while sailing to said for fort my ship stopped dead in what appeared to be open water (i did not get that "Shallow" text on the screen). I assume i hit a hidden rock or whatnot, but it was major annoying to lose all speed and try to move around it to reach the fort while the fort was blasting us.

I had two battles where game lost connection at the end that i didn't get rewars. Another player in the last one got his. Something odd where they aren't paying out for all. I been in three battles and histroy only shows the one I got sunk when it was 3 plaeyrs vs me.

while I only earned 12 xp from that one battle. Need some way to know your current XP. I seem to not find it. Figure if you scroll over your rank it would list that.

Over all I'm somewhat impressed. Though one thing I'd love to see, is instead of your ship in the open ocean while in the docks, maybe make it an actual dock? Make it a bit more interesting, ala World of Warships?

I do also feel there needs to be a bit more info readily available on screen, and in such a way that is easily understandable. Things like progression levels, amount of total xp on current ships, rate of current ship, ect.

I'd also like to see more xp and credit info on the upgrade screen as well, without having to click on the slots themselves. Maybe something like a small number inside the slot area that says how much xp it'll cost to unlock?

Ship progression also needs a bit more info, like which ship you'll unlock next ect. Maybe a small arrow pointing to the next ship? Just a small little hint at what to look forward to.

These things a am missing for better teamplay (needs to be well made, otherwise PUG Play will be hell):
- Accessable chat history.
- Teamstatus window or status on "big" map.
- Zoomable map would be really nice.
- Clear indication which unit is an AI (if they stay in, i guess so).

Other Interface related things:
- Please show XP on current ship on top next to the money.
- On the collection, please indicate total XP needed or indicated that this is the XP missing (was not intiutive for such an old fart that i am).
- Please make the chat window resizable, both in battle and in the main Screen.
- Would be nice to have access to global / clan if you are in battle, to setup following fights.
- Please make that the reporter ID of last report is copied into clipboard (like in NA).

XP and gold for damage might be out of the OW game, but I would consider bringing it back in for Legends.

Without manual sailing cutter can get completely stuck in irons.

I am aware of that, but noobs will not know that and vets cannot really use it to turn faster (couldn't tell if it is faster due to the turning bug).
It is highly counter-iniutive and i would personally rather see a auto-out-of-Irons than this (slow turn tho, so they are punished for getting there).
In this current setup, new players will have "manual sails are bad" in mind when the start on the ships that need manual sailing.

+1 on damage pay, it sucks playing tactical and you get the 1/5 of that guy which suicided himself to get a kill.
Also "no rewards" for a loss is an absolut no-go in this type of game, nobody will have any regards for that.

I noticed significantly different speeds on my tacks when i used manual sails than when I used auto sail. It took some time to get used to, but I started to figure out the sails on the cutter again.

And z4ys was able to outmaneuver me by using manual sails more effectively than me.

Last instance I got 2x kils and 1x assist (versus bots). I don't know if I got any XP for it and I'm not sure where in the interface to see my XP?

Sorry for being clueless, besides the turning glitch it's really cool

EDIT: Figured it out. You have to click on "Equipment" beneath your ship in the "Docks" screen. This will show you a page with your "Experience" accumulated listed on it. Clicking the "Collection" screen from the top nav will show the other ships, along with an XP countdown to be reached before they will be unlocked (via "Research").
